And if he doesn't like the wording of the FSF license, he should have
written it differently. He had the option. It was his pencil. And
his words.
Or, of course, released some of his software under a different license.
AFAIK, nobody, not even RMS, has to release anything under the GPL if
they don't want to.
Of course, that means that no code otherwise covered by the GPL can
be used -- because if any _part_ of a product is GPL'd, so must all
derivative work.
